WISDOM makes but a slow defence against trouble, though at last a sure one.

Goldsmith.

I EXPECT to pass through this life but once. If therefore there is any kindness I can show, or any good I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.
